Who is responsible

Participation in Google advertising

iDESK World News participates in the Google AdSense advertising program (and related Google advertising technologies) when the site owner has configured a legitimate Google-issued publisher ID and you allow advertising cookies. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet, to measure ad performance, and—if you allow personalization—to show more relevant ads.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. You can control personalized advertising through Google’s tools and our on-site consent controls:

• Google Ads Settings — manage or opt out of personalized Google ads
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
• Google Privacy Policy
• Our Cookie Policy and footer “Cookie settings” control for accepting, rejecting, or customizing analytics and advertising categories on this site

See also our Advertising Disclosure for how ads are labeled and where they may appear.

Information we may process

• Necessary site data — consent preferences stored in your browser, security and basic request data needed to serve pages.
• Contact information you send — if you email us or use the contact form (name, email, message content).
• Analytics data (optional) — when Google Analytics 4 is configured and you allow analytics, GA4 may process page views, approximate location derived by Google, device/browser info, and engagement events.
• Advertising data (optional) — when Google AdSense / Google advertising is configured and you allow advertising, Google and its advertising partners may process data needed to select, serve, personalize (if allowed), and measure ads, including cookie identifiers and similar signals, per Google’s policies.

Google Analytics

When Google Analytics is enabled and you allow analytics cookies, we use it to understand aggregated site usage (such as page views and basic engagement). Analytics storage starts denied until you choose otherwise in the consent banner.

Google AdSense and display advertising

This site participates in Google AdSense when advertising is configured and you allow advertising cookies. Labeled ad units may appear on content-rich pages. We do not ask readers to click ads, and ads are kept separate from editorial recommendations.

Cookies and similar technologies

Details—including advertising cookies used for Google ads—are in the Cookie Policy. You can accept all optional technologies, reject them, or manage categories. You can reopen preferences via “Cookie settings” in the footer.

Third-party services

• Hosting / edge platform (for example Vercel) for delivering the website
• Google Analytics 4 (optional, consent-gated)
• Google AdSense / Google advertising network (optional, consent-gated) — third-party vendors including Google may set or read cookies to serve and measure ads
• Vercel Analytics may collect aggregated traffic metrics depending on deployment settings
• Optional Web Push notifications (Chrome/Opera/Edge/Firefox when configured) — only after you grant browser permission. Opera Mini users should use RSS instead.

Retention and security

We retain contact emails as needed to respond. Analytics and advertising retention are governed by Google’s product settings and policies when those products are enabled. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.

Your choices

• Use the consent banner to accept, reject, or customize optional categories
• Change cookie settings later from the site footer
• Contact us to ask questions about this policy

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). Do not submit personal information for children through our contact channels.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site’s features change. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
